She can’t wait for the second one to be released ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book *by M***E on 14 August 2026* Brought for my granddaughter. She really liked it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A visual treat for nostalgic Eastern European millenials *by I***A on 3 August 2024* I bought this book because I’ve been following Cassandra Calin’s work online for many years. The cover and snippets of illustrations that I saw online reminded me of the W.I.T.C.H comics I used to collect when I was Lia’s age (and judging by the first chapter, I think she would have definitely been a fan of!). I am not in the target demographic for this book, but it was great to get lost in a comic book in a very similar way to when I was 12-13. I would highly recommend this book, it is a visual treat and the story is engaging! ## Frequently Bought Together - The New Girl: A Graphic Novel (The New Girl #1) - The Squad: A Graphic Novel (The Tryout #2) (Tryout Graphic Novel, 2) - The Cartoonists Club: A Graphic Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/573725029-the-new-girl-book-1-in-cassandra-calins-funny-heartfelt](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/573725029-the-new-girl-book-1-in-cassandra-calins-funny-heartfelt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
